Museum of the Polish Stamp and philatelic heritage
The Museum of the Polish Stamp is a project of the Polish Stamp Foundation. Its starting point is a collection of Polish stamps, full sheets and postal documents. The Foundation welcomes enquiries from donors as it develops the project.
Why such a museum is needed
Many collections were built over decades and lose their steward after the owner dies. A museum and foundation can give them continued meaning: document, preserve, and present them to the public.
What a stamp collection can tell
A collection can speak about independence, war, migration, science, culture, sport, religion, art, and social change. Stamps are small, but together they form an archive of memory.
- Polish history and the history of Poczta Polska
- graphic design and applied art
- family collections and private archives
- education for children, youth, and adults
- temporary, traveling, and thematic exhibitions
How to help
Museum development requires donors, patrons, partners, and families who want their collections to carry lasting public meaning.
